Course description and aims

This course aims at learning principles and methods for basic experiments in physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology, which are required for conducting research in the laboratory.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:1) Conduct basic biological experiments required for research in the laboratory.2) Solve problems when in trouble with basic biological experiments.3) Describe the aim, results, and discussion of biological experiments clearly.

Competencies that will be developed

Class flow

Students start experiments after the guidance on the flow of the experiments in the first ~30 min in each class.

Course schedule/Required learning

Course schedule

Required learning

Class 1

Students are divided to 4 classes, and take 1 of the 4 experiments; physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology (other 3 experiments will be taken in LST Basic Laboratory I, III, IV). For each experiment, students perform 4-5 projects.

Experimental report.
